"About
the WLT

What
is the World Land Trust?

The
World Land Trust is an international conservation charity (Reg.
No. 1001291), based in Halesworth, a rural town in Suffolk, UK.
Since its foundation in 1989 as the World Wide Land Conservation
Trust, the World Land Trust has been working to preserve the
world's most biologically important and threatened lands, and has
helped purchase and protect over 350,000 acres of habitats rich
in wildlife, in Belize, Costa Rica, the
Philippines, South America and the UK.

Who
runs the World Land Trust?

The
World Land Trust is run by:

-
A small number of staff, most of whom work part-time

-
Seven trustees, an Honorary President, an Honorary Treasurer and
a council

The
Trust is also helped by a number of special advisors as well as
interns, students and other volunteers.

The
WLT has a policy of working with local partner organisations, and
the Trust does not normally play a direct role in the ownership
or the management of the land it conserves".
